Agnostics
George is my enlightener. He reads Bishop Spong – the most controversial agnostic of our time - and brings me his articles printed out from the Internet. George’s questions remind me of my father. George also reminds me of my father’s practicality and tenderness: he is loving, protective, and never steps away from his line. “I have two theological questions for you. How do people know about virgin birth? Did they see it? Then, the second question. How do people believe in Resurrection? Did they see it?” Every time I preach too literally for George’s taste, he looks disappointed. “This is all propaganda! I understand, you have to say what you have to say.”
